Agreed, I'm still hoping that someone will pick it up and keep going.

As promised, I have been working on the first short story from the Mind Society. The idea is to take scenes we planned for the Mind Society and turn them into short visual novels.
This particular story features Alex retelling a dream she had to the MC, assuming the player chose the "control" path with Alex. Maybe someday we'll get to stitch it back into the main game, but regardless, it works quite well as a stand-alone piece.
I am reining in my usual instinct to add extra content and keeping it simple. It will be a linear visual novel with about 100 renders. Right now, it's about a quarter done and progressing at a decent pace.
In other good news, my day job should be less demanding during the summer, so I am hoping to have more time to dedicate to my projects here.
Stay tuned!
I mean, they already failed to finish the first game. Not sure why anyone should be excited that the dev is working on a whole new one.

Bro it's better than nothing
at the end what we can do, the game is done and dusted. RIPNo one in their right mind should trust the shit this dev says after years of empty promises.

and if I could, I would do it myself... I have some ideas... but unfortunately I don't have any equipment for it... the short novellas that are planned are a good idea, but in the long run I would have to pick up the entire game again and continue it, or start it again with a dominant main character...
I used to think that too.Bro it's better than nothing
Maybe there's a part of me that still does. I'm a bit torn on that thought process, generally speaking.
But as I get older I have grown to realize that there are DEFINITELY times when nothing is better than something, if that "something" turns out to be the wrong thing. Or even just a bad thing.
Maybe next time around the Dev finishes what he started. We'll see. But if people go into it with skepticism and reluctance(to open their wallets) he has no one but himself to blame for that.
Ok, just played the whole game, and I really like it, a lot of nice transitions in the "free roam" that I couldn't find in many games. Is sad that this game is abandoned...

While what you say is true, I don't feel it applies to here, unless someone has spend money supporting, hoping for the game to be finished.
1) Beside wasting time, I don't see how this would detract enough to be worse than nothing.
2) The Dev's focus has always been comics first, game second. That has been clear for a long time now.
Imo, this shows the dev could be working on the game, but doesn't want to -- and since they're using a character from the game, it's going to be a harder sell that they don't abandon this one too. Looking at their Patreon numbers on graphtreon, they've been slowly losing support since work on this game slowed down, so it stands to reason a chunk of their support was directly related to this game. It probably wasn't nearly enough to hire help (iirc their last post about TMS alluded to losing people working on the project), but whatever resources they're putting towards the new game could have been put towards TMS.
And yes, they're focused on comics, but they could have pivoted TMS to a comic if they wanted to, too. There was clearly enough interest that it may have fostered support.
Yet every poll they did on their Patreon page showed that most of the community was interested in The Mind Society over their other projects. By an overwhelming majority. Maybe they should have gotten their priorities set straight in response to feedback or something.
Not necessarily make the game more important than the comics but at least put more focus on its production since it was clearly what most people were there for. Instead we got paltry yearly updates while the team seemingly imploded several times over.
I'm just saying that I don't think their "we're comics first guys" excuse should shield them from criticism when their community seemed to disagree and the major factor behind the game's delays seemed to be internal trouble with the team.

And what I don't understand is why they didn't decide to finish this story in comic form then...
If they are "the comic guys" what's stopping them from ending it in comic form, at least to give it any closure?
